After Zhou Huai'an's routine inscription by the river (leaving after loading), the combing and rectification of Dantu after the war continued.

Danyang County of Runzhou is one of the few important states in the south of the Yangtze River in this era. The past dynasties are abundant: shirt, water pattern, square pattern, fish mouth, embroidered leaves, patterns and other silk, linen, bamboo roots, yellow millet, Funiu Mountain bronze, sturgeon, bream and other local tributes and customs. There are 102,023 households in the official accounts, and 662,706 mouths. Among them, most of the wealthy families and eunuchs are gathered in this Dantu city, plus those slaves, their children and other hidden people, the actual number is afraid not to double.

Therefore, only after defeating the Dan disciples did you know how rich they were. Zhou Bao, as the deputy envoy of Jianghuai Rent and Yong, and also the affairs of the Southeast Transfer Institute, intercepted the local wealth and soil tribute of the various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River under the pretext of preparing for the Kou, as well as the cleverly set up a name to include the local income over the years. Therefore, in the warehouses everywhere, all kinds of goods, materials, grain and grass are piled up like mountains and are innumerable.

The part of the wealth and silk that was roughly counted alone has all kinds of expenses and extravagant expenses since the dispatch of the army at once; It can also be enough to support the expected military expenditure for several battles. In addition, in the mansion of Zhou Bao, the envoy of the festival, and several other pavilions and gardens under his name, there were about 100,000 yuan worth of seizures. This is not counting the follow-up confiscation and liquidation of the wealthy families and eunuchs in the city.

Then, it is the starting point of the Jiangdong Cao Yun convergence and the hub of the southern end of the Grand Canal. Therefore, in the building complexes such as Zhengcang, Transshipment Warehouse, Military Supply Warehouse, Changping Warehouse, and Yicang scattered in more than a dozen places outside the inner city, more than 300,000 stones of rice and chestnut wheat have accumulated. It is enough for the soldiers and civilians of the city to open their bellies and eat for more than half a year.

In the arsenals of the inner city and the tooth city, there are also new and old swords, spears and swords that can be equipped with tens of thousands of copies; Among them, the bows, crossbows, arrows and corresponding accessories produced in Xuanrun are even more than this. It's just that the proportion of armor is much smaller, only about 3,000 collars of all-iron armor, more than 5,000 collars of inlaid leather armor, and hundreds of more delicate Mingguang and Liangdang armor. There are countless other military assets such as clothing, quilts, tents, etc.

And before that, a considerable part of the accumulation in it had been dispersed by Zhou Bao in the name of preparing for theft and supplying the army. If it weren't for the fact that the Taiping army had taken the initiative to draw out the living forces of the defenders and annihilate them on the spot, relying on the traditional siege and trench filling tactics of the original rebel army, they might not have been able to fight down even if they all starved to death or were scattered.

Moreover, at the same time, it is also the place where the envoys of Zhenhai Festival and Jiangdong have been transferred since the Tang Dynasty, and the configuration of various yamen is quite complete than that of the same small court. Therefore, the books of the past dynasties left here are quite complete and complete; There are hundreds of corresponding officials and engagements alone, which is also a very valuable endowment.

Then, there were all kinds of workshops and a large number of craftsmen in the city, among which the guilds related to weaving, printing and dyeing were the most numerous; There are even several bookstores that are famous for their engravings. The government-run ironworks and bronzeworks, as well as the crossbow workshop, which provided equipment for the Zhenhai camp, also contained a large number of materials and finished products, as well as skilled craftsmen, apprentices and servants.

The large and small ships obtained from the ferry wharf outside the city and the official army water village allowed the Taiping Army's water transportation and combat establishment to be expanded several times on the books (it takes time to recruit and replenish enough manpower, and it will take time to become proficient and form combat effectiveness).

Of course, after such a large amount of input; It can't be like the traditional rebel army, most of them are scattered in one go, the more the better, and then the sea to eat and drink for ten days and half a month of indulgence, by the way, the private pockets of the leaders and leaders from the top down are stuffed to the full. It should be classified into the Taiping Sacred Treasury system according to the system, and then the specific uses of all aspects should be listed according to the needs of priority.

For example, it is used in the army to reward meritorious service and reward the amount of multi-faceted contributions; Purchasing and collecting civilian materials and paying for labor to provide relief to the local poor and widows and further replenish the local military resources; There was also the subsequent reorganization and transformation of prisoners in other parts of the Rebel Army, as well as the repair of local city defenses and public facilities; The construction and replenishment of old and new ships and armor, and so on.

In the end, most of them will be loaded and transferred back to Gangneung as a feedback for the continuous transportation support and logistics support in the rear; The Taiping Army's occupation of seventy or eighty percent of the population engaged in collective agriculture to secure and support the rest of the population for other purposes has almost reached a limit.

As a result, grain could be stored and digested locally along the route from Jiangling to Lingxi, craftsmen and laborers could be placed on the spot in Jingnan, and goods could be transferred south to Guangzhou, where they could be converted into resources and output for other Taiping troops.

It is expected that only half of the armor, weapons, and basic reserves, including a few important strongholds, will be left behind, enough for a few months of about 30,000 horses (including the coordinated rebel armies).

In the midst of this chaotic process, the Confucian officer of the Zhenhai Xingying Camp, who had been the envoy of the official army, was also guarded and followed by several military personnel, and walked through the streets that seemed to have become much more depressed.

Although the bluestone street has been cleaned up, and even paved with non-slip and sharp yellow sand, on both sides of the road at the key location of the market, the houses behind the Zhumen Jiadi and the high-walled Uwa have been vacated one after another.

And the rest of the people's homes were closed and gloomy, and there were still whimpering and wailing; As the Taiping Army's invention is called a blacklist, they are obviously worried about some kind of imminent but inevitable fate; It is said that the best outcome is that the family will be moved to Jingnan, Hunan, or even Lingnan and Annam, and start a new life in a foreign land.

However, Li Shicheng immediately laughed at himself in his heart, isn't he one of the five categories of elements on this blacklist, one of the old officials who need to be liquidated and separated. The reason why he has not yet suffered this kind of treatment and results is mainly because of some of his actions and performances in the past few days.

Not only did he personally lead people to guard and lock it up after the city was broken, but he also stored the internal shelves and cabinets of the directories, books, books, and cases of the military machine; And drove away several waves of rebels who tried to set fires or wandered over to grab things. He also took the initiative to provide the officers and men of the Taiping Army who took over the facilities and key points of the government in a certain sense according to the plan.

Therefore, there is such a proactive up-and-coming bird as an example and exemplary; There are also some speculators who are lucky to stand up and cooperate with each other; To some extent, under the strong military support and deterrence of the Taiping Army, the following takeover and inventory operations in various parts of the city have achieved twice the result with half the effort in a certain sense;

Therefore, this time, he finally got an opportunity through his own efforts, and met with the master of the Taiping Army to present and explain his feelings, so as to decide the fate of these people of the old system.

(In the end, it is deprived of the wealth and sent to the south to be reformed through labor; I was still forgiven and went to the big training center to compile books and write memoirs; It is still enriched to the corresponding teaching positions after screening and transformation; It is even possible to give a certain retention period to observe the after-effects. ）

However, then on a temporary hot construction site at the pier outside the city; He saw the lord of the Taiping army, who did not have a heavy guard of honor by his side, but seemed quite quiet and unfathomable.

Just the clear gaze of the other party turned his head made him have the illusion of being penetrated into the bones, and made many good drafts and calculations like a mist dispersed by the morning sun.

"Say, what do you want."

Zhou Huaian asked straight to the point without further ado.

"Below, below, I want to ask your army for a head."

Li Shicheng hesitated, and once again mustered up the courage to speak.

"Whose head do you want?"

Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"The son of Yang Maoshi, the assassin of Runzhou, the head of Yang Ping'an in Xiaoyan."

Li Shicheng said with undisguised hatred.

"Can you explain why?"

Zhou Huai'an seemed to be a little interested.

"It's really an unspeakable hatred of humiliation, a hatred of the family. With my weak body, I'm afraid it's hopeless. However, what your army is going to do is give me a glimmer of opportunity. So he was cheeky and begged for the present. ”

Li Shicheng gritted his teeth slightly.

"Then it's up to you, what kind of value and conditions can you come up with. Don't tell me about your previous dedication, even if you don't come to the lead, it will naturally be another opportunity for others; It's just a chance for you to earn such a face-to-face presentation."

Zhou Huai'an is the way to describe no waves.

"I once served the king of Bohai County, and I also experienced Zhou Linggong's personal deeds. I don't dare to say everything about the big and small stakeholders in the festival, but I can also get most of them. The big and small people under the government are also omniscient; Even the background of most of the people in the city can also help one or two. ”

Li Shicheng continued to grit his teeth and resolutely arrived.

"It's just that after the fact, I naturally don't want to be able to survive myself, I just want to give my family a way to live."

"I see,"

Zhou Huai'an was unimpressed.

"If you show enough value, don't say it's just a small Yanei, even if it's Yang Maoshi's head, I can hand it over to you. This guy wanted to cross-disguise and abscond, but he was spotted by my men at the city gate. ”

"But it's up to you...

Li Shicheng was a little surprised, and he immediately fell down

asked and explained some things one after another, and sent Li Shicheng away. Zhou Huai's evaluation of him has also changed from a traditional bureaucrat with a little conscience and bottom line, but limited to his own environment and pattern; Slightly promoted to the role of a good father and husband who pays attention to his family and takes care of it, and does not hesitate to go to great lengths.

At least in terms of employing people, this also means more controllability and mastered weaknesses. After dealing with this inconsequential episode, Zhou Huai'an once again looked at the horizon on the distant river.

Because with the resumption of smooth water and land exchanges between Dantu and Jiangning, today is the day when my aunt came from Jiangning, Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but be filled with a certain kind of longing and throbbing in his heart.
